The guy just ran for 166 yards, and 4 TDs. In the playoffs! Against a very good Defense!
He was unstoppable. The featured back for a team that is always in the Playoffs. A smarter team. A better Team. With arguably the best coach in the game!!

And idiots here are still saying he sucks!
Clueless Zombies!

I know that Blount is dealing with a more intelligent Fan base.
Just because it would be near impossible to be more clueless than some of the posters here!

At least it’s good for a laugh!
He’s dominating in the Playoffs. Our ” great Stable of superior backs” all spent more time on IR, than they did playing!
And we started a guy who was undrafted, and walking the streets two weeks before we started him!

Oh, yeah! We have the market for talent Cornered!!
Guess all that massive talent pool at RB explains that sweet 4-12 record!

Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:35:37 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=105455#comment-3359178Love all the clueless, trashing Blount.
He rushed for a thousand yards, and played in 12 games. First thousand yard rusher we had in quite a while!
Lol!
The next season, our clueless, losing record coach seems dedicated to over using Martin, and under using Blount.
Gotta polish that shiny 1st round pick.
And again, the lies and Slander pour outta one Buc.
“Can’t block” , “can’t catch”
He seems to be doing a fine job of blocking in New England.
Here, he had the highest rate of ” thrown to, caught” in the games he played.
Can’t catch it, if they don’t throw to you.

Several of Blounts long Runs- punctuated by hurdling a defender- were among the best runs ever by any Buc back. Earl Campbell didn’t catch many passes. You can verify that by reading his stats.

By his Bust- in Canton. At the Hall of Fame.
Yet, despite a banner year- some here are still spewing the same sewage that the previous, equally clueless Regime spewed!
Lol!

I said at the time, that getting Rid of Blount was a big mistake. Martin is tiny, and The NFL is a big mans game. I love the guy, but don’t think he can hold up long being the workhorse back.

Of course, I also said that Schiano was going to in over his head, and terribly unprepared to coach/ evaluate talent at the NFL level. Posted that two days after he was hired- to the protest of the Clueless.

Blount was a great back here, when given the ball enough to get a rhythm. It was stupidly not to use him, and Stupidity to lose him. Unfortunately, he’ll be racking up major yards- with one of the NFLs most consistent and intelligent teams. And we will be worrying about keeping our small, or Skinny RBs off I.R.

Say what you want Blount > James and Rainey. Only Martin had the best single season of the 4. Let’s not forget a couple of things stats wont show. Blount had M. Williams, Stroughter, and A. Benn as the starting WR’s and a garbage line in front of him. His rookie year Cadillac was the main starter most of the season until Blount was able to take over and produce. Blount consistently was met with a stacked box and still produced. 2012 Schiano shows up and Blount is immediately in the dog house. Martin on the other hand had a newly signed V-Jacks to take some heat of the RB and Nicks (half the season) paving the way allowing for a break out season. Once teams realized Freeman wasn’t a threat in the air, Martins numbers took a significant dip as defenses started to stack the box.

It is what it is at this point. All i wanted to do was shed some light that Blount was and still is a very good RB he just needed a coach/team who could let him show off his talents. Blount was never going to be good as a 3rd down back. He is a work horse style back who needed to be fed the ball with a good 3rd down back to spell him IE like Cadillac Williams in 2010. Yes he had his faults but i always said those are coach-able faults. You can teach someone to stop tip toeing the line or fumbling the ball with techniques. His talent or production was never the issue.

So i say the trade was bad value. Schiano shot himself in the foot by putting Blount in the dog house and only giving a small sample in 2012 for teams to make a judgment call. The smarter choice would to have been to trade him at the beginning of the year when his value was much higher.

nag and bitch about schiano and call him names on the internet like a little girl. still projecting your little man syndrome on others, clowney? still a toughguy that is an expert mma fighter, right payasito?

Not the point Joe. I know he signed a contract, but how much guaranteed money was in that contract? Schaino did not want Blount and the bucs were going to let him go at some point. Bill Belichick just help Schiano out a little…. sort of!

I mean he had a couple good games himself. I liked blount but felt he needed a fresh start myself, but i do wish we’d have gotten more from the trade too. But u can only get wat someone is willing to give and they were not give willing to give more i guess.

Mon, 13 Jan 2014 23:17:10 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=105455#comment-3359117I was a fan of Blounts. Still am. I still think it was a mistake to get rid of him. HOWEVER, when it comes to personell, Schiano did more good than bad by a large margin. so if this was one of his mistakes, I’ll take it for a swap of the good he did. No one is perfect and I’m pretty happy with most of the player choices he and Dom did while Schiano was here. The Freeman thing alone makes up for it

Mon, 13 Jan 2014 22:49:22 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=105455#comment-3359105I see the revisionist history right here in these comments.

Blount was not a bad move. Why? Because we have not suffered for it. Period. He was a problem in the locker room, and was unreliable. James is as good as Blunt, if not better. He could even play fullback.

Talib HAD to go. The only reason he has straightened out is because he got a dose of reality when he was sent packing. If he wasn’t, he would still be getting into trouble.

Bennett wanted more money for the Bucs to keep him. Because they would not pay what he wished, he tested the market. Obviously there was an angry parting of ways, because he said some things afterward.

It wasn’t until he tested the market and realized he could not get what he was asking that he settled for less, with another team.

Offering him more money to stay to begin with would have been a bad idea, because we THOUGHT Bowers was ready to step up.

And if we get a better DE this year, you can thank the fact that Bennett isn’t here, because the Bucs would not be looking for one otherwise.
